Description

The just-war position has often been misunderstood and wrongly applied to try justify conflict that has already begun. This book does a good job of returning to a classic understanding of the theory of a just war. However, the author makes some large assumptions about the state of humanity and forgets that we are incapable of perceiving justice in a manner that is in a state of grace without the flaws of sin and subjective judgment.
